You can map your course and course measures like learning outcomes, course objectives, instructional objectives, lecture objectives, etc. to multiple standards by using the mapping screen. Once you have mapped the courses and course measures, you will be able to generate reports to review your curriculum and make enhancements.
Adding Mappings:
-
Select Curriculum Mapping on your left menu or dashboard
-
Select Curriculum Grid from the left ribbon.
-
On this page, you will find the list of all your courses and different curriculum grids. You can go to the mapping page by:
-
Hovering over any course a mapping symbol appears which takes you to the mapping screen.
-
Clicking on the course you want to work on mapping for and on the top right-hand side, you will find the “Go to mapping” button.
-
Hovering over any course a mapping symbol appears which takes you to the mapping screen.
Map Course Measures:
-
Upon selecting the course, you will find the options on the left-hand side under the course name to map an entire course and a list of all objectives. The course level and course measure level will show up on the same page depending on how you have configured the system. Any standards that have been activated to map with the entire course will show up when you click on “map entire course” and any standards that have been activated for the course measure level will show up on each objective category that you select.
-
Select the objective you want to map your standard with. On the right-hand side you will find the “+” icon for the standard activated for that measure category. The objective appears in red representing that it is not yet mapped and as soon as we map it, the objective will turn to green, and the number of mappings will show up in parenthesis next to the objective.
-
Click on the “+” icon and select the standards you want to map with. It is a multi-select option so you can select multiple standard sections at the same time. Use the “>” caret symbol to expand the parent standard and view its sub-sections.
-
When you select the standards from the drawer on the right-hand side you will find the “add/edit details” button for every standard you are selecting. This is where you will be able to assign an attribute at the mapping level if any were activated.
-
When you click on “Add/Edit details” for every standard that has been selected, you will find the following options in the right-hand drawer. It shows you the drop-down of attributes activated at the mapping level. If there are none activated you will see any attributes. You can also tag a mapping at this stage if required.
- Tags: You can add any tag to this mapping for example: In progress, Reviewed, Need Review, or Need attention. Tags work as sticky notes for you and your team to be able to generate a report based on what has been tagged. If a faculty has tagged their mappings as “needs to be reviewed” then the person overseeing the mappings can generate a report and check which mappings need to be reviewed and then tag them as “reviewed”.

- Click on the “+” icon next to the tags. It will show blank as shown in the screenshot below:
